'We're fed up with eyesore fly-tipping at former Walsall pub - nearby residents have seen rats here'
Fly-tippers have dumped piles of rubbish on land once occupied by a pub on the Wolverhampton-Walsall border prompting calls for enforcement action to get the site cleaned up.
Building rubble, tyres, fridges, doors are among the items that have been dumped at the site of the former Travellers Rest public house in Great Bridge Road in Moxley between Darlaston and Bilston.
Site owner Sukhjinder Khera, of SAP Developments Ltd, has lodged a full planning application for seven four-bedroom dwellings and two three-bedroom dwellings on the site. A previous plan was refused by planners in 2023. The plans were resubmitted in June this year, but no decision has yet been made.
Meanwhile Darlaston South ward representative Councillor Chris Bott wants Darlaston based SAP to maintain the fence to keep out vandals and fly-tippers and she is calling on Walsall Council to launch enforcement action if nothing is done.
